After our yacht charter in Scotland we flew to France to visit Philippe and Claire. We met Philippe in 2019 when he stopped in Hobart for repairs to his boat Bye Bye while on a solo circumnavigation. Bye Bye is a 16 metre aluminium fast ocean cruiser, a Cigale 16.

Back in 2016 we were enjoying a land-based holiday in Scotland when we decided on the spur of the moment to charter a yacht and we enjoyed a long weekend sailing in the Firth of Clyde on Midnight Mirage, a Moody 376. A few years later we planned to revisit the area, this time chartering with friends Ian and Julie, but Covid put a halt to that.

The Golden Globe Race is a solo, non-stop, unassisted, round the world race in small vintage yachts using 1960’s technology. Don McIntyre developed this race to repeat as closely as possible the conditions of the original Golden Globe Race of 1968, which was won by Robin Knox-Johnson, in Suhaili, the only boat to finish the race.
